Rating: C+ Commentary: Your typical alien invasion trailer presents a lot of screaming and running and yelling and very little to suggest something deeply satisfying. |

Rating: B- Commentary: I won’t say that my interested isn’t piqued because it is, but do we really need anymore films that seem like clones of Push or trailers that feel like clones of Jumper? The pre-teen, post-teen and mid-teen audiences have already shown that they aren’t interested. |
Rating: None Commentary: I don’t review placeholders. |

Rating: D Commentary: I believe it’s in their contract to use ever classic Yogi Bear catch phrase they can in a single trailer. It looks like an exceptionally lame, lamely humored, humorously stupid film. |

Rating: B Commentary: Although I much prefer the first poster for the film, this one isn’t too bad. Blending the colors with the flames to the image make for an interesting amalgam of images that won’t win hearts, but will look good on your (or the theater’s) wall. |

Rating: B- Commentary: Normally these individual portrait/name lists drive me insane and there are certainly elements to the poster that achieve that, but it’s an unusual way of displaying the names and laying them out on the page that seems to work better than expected. |

Rating: C+ Commentary: Another series of posters, this one with the tagline “Nowhere is safe” and proceeding to put the three leads into various locations around London (most of which aren’t that familiar to American audiences, not that it should really matter since it’s set in the UK). And another peeve, why is it that Rupert Grint comes out looking all clean, Daniel Radcliffe just looks a little disheveled, but Emma Watson looks an absolute mess? Are they trying to keep people from looking at her like a sexual object? Who really knows why, but I think it’s a bit silly. |
